Of all the products in your makeup bag, the one that allows you to show the most creativity is your eye-shadow. The colored powders in those little pans highlight the most expressive part of your face. The looks you dream up can be anything from subtle to glam, and eye-shadows come in every color to match any mood or outfit. However, palettes can get pretty pricey. That’s where drugstores come in.
Here, I have listed down a few of my FAV eys-shadow palettes with the reasons why I absolutely love them and buy anytime without putting too big of a dent in your wallet.
Maybelline Total Temptation Eyeshadow + Highlight Palette
The perfect drugstore eye-shadow option. The blendability of the shades is amazing! You can create both natural and smokey eye looks with it. Plus, the metallic shades double as face highlighters so you can glow all over.
Revlon ColorStay Looks Book Eyeshadow Palette
The plum tones in it are perfect for people with brown eyes. And I carry it everywhere I go cause it’s so compact!
ColourPop Give It To Me Straight Palette
For a bronze smokey eye, there is no palette better than this one. The metallic tones work to give the center of the eye a pop. These shades are perfect for your Beach day out!
Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow 10-Pan Palette
You can’t really go wrong with a $5 eyeshadow palette, especially when the quality is as good as this one is. It comes in four different shade ranges so you can select the one that best fits your mood, or collect them all—for less than the price of one high-end palette. This can be your go to Palette if you need quality, affordable price and good shades!
Maybelline The Burgundy Bar Eyeshadow Palette Makeup
This is my personal favorite! I love the the subtle and warm colors!
NYX Professional Makeup Prismatic Eyeshadow
I am also partial to this metallic baby pink shadow single. Just gently tap it into the center of the lid to give a glossy shock of glitter to any eye look, especially when you want to give off a sweet, “innocent” vibe.
E.l.f. Mad for Matte Eyeshadow Palette
The shadows in this palette are buildable in coverage and are universally flattering on a variety of skin tones. It also comes in sleek black packaging that will look great both in a makeup flatlay and sitting on your vanity countertop.
NYX Swear By It Shadow Palette
The color diversity, as well as the mix of textures and finishes, makes it an easy go-to for the makeup lover on-the-go. I love that it has a combination of warm and cool tones, and regularly reaches for this palette whenever I am in a pinch.
